(54) ANKLE TURNING HEALTH DEVICE

(57)Abstract:

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a small ankle
turning health device, allowing freely selecting of a rotating
angle (size of rotation), rotating direction and the like of a
foot with one driving source in an ankle turning exercise
having various effects in respect of health, simple in
structure and inexpensively manufacturable.
SOLUTION: In two right and left foot placing plates to
which a sole projecting on a case with the toe on the
upper side is made to adhere and fixed, the upper end
parts of rods penetrating a top plate of the case are
respectively fixed to the heel area thereof, and spherical
parts whose outer peripheries are expanded to be
spherical are formed on the upper sides of the middle
parts of the rods. The spherical parts are supported by
spherical bearings mounted on the top plate of the case,
and the lower sides of the rods hung down in the case are
freely rocked in four ways. The lower sides of both rods
mesh with gears driven by a motor and simultaneously
engage with eccentric positions of two right and left rotary
disks rotated horizontally. Both disks are provided on an elevating support plate, and the support
plate is installed in a slide box capable of moving forward and backward in the case.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[Detailed Description of the Invention]
[0001]

[Field of the Invention]An ankle is turned in this invention.

Therefore, it is a thing which can improve the blood flow of the whole leg, can relieve the fatigue of
a lower half of the body, and can also cancel MUKUMI of a leg carry out an ankle time and
concerning a healthy machine.

[0002]

[Description of the Prior Art]If an ankle is turned when it is standing all day long, or you walk and
the leg is tired, anyone may be sufficient as the ability to relieve the fatigue of the whole leg, and it
is just going to experience, and a healthy effect can expect it enough for a bedridden person also
by light movement which turns an ankle small.

[0003]although there are few machines to which made it make the ankle torsion which has an
effect in such recovery from fatigue, health promotion, the compensation for lack of exercise, etc.
perform compulsorily, for example, there are also what gives movement which moves a tiptoe to
order or a longitudinal direction conventionally, and a thing which uses many motors in order to
turn an ankle in various directions, There was no small effective instrument which performs the
ankle torsion in arbitrary angles and directions by one set of a drive motor.
[0004]

[Problem to be solved by the invention]this invention is a small thing in which the structure it
enabled it to choose freely is easy for, and can manufacture inexpensive the ankle torsion which
has various effects as mentioned above in a healthy side by one driving source for angle of
rotation (rotational size) of a leg, revolving speed, a hand of cut, etc. and which carries out an
ankle time and proposes a healthy machine.
[0005]

[Means for solving problem]Namely, this invention fixes the upper bed part of the rod which inserts
the top plate of **** into the heel of the footrest board of two right and left which can adhesion
fix the sole which turns a tiptoe part up and projects on ****, respectively, The spherical portion
of this rod which the periphery bulges above pars intermedia, respectively, and makes the shape of
a ball is formed, This spherical portion is supported by the spherical bearing provided in the ****
top plate, and the lower part of the rod which hangs in **** is constituted on all sides, enabling
free rocking, It engages with the eccentric position of the rotating disc of two right and left which
the lower part of both the above-mentioned rods gears with the gear driven on a motor, and carry
out horizontal rotation simultaneously, It is a thing characterized by providing these both disks on
the support plate which can go up and down, and coming to install this support plate within **** in
the slide box in which back and forth movement is possible carry out an ankle time and concerning
a healthy machine. Hereafter, a figure explains the embodiment of this invention.
[0006]

[Mode for carrying out the invention] Drawing 1 is a perspective view concerning this invention in
which carrying out an ankle time and showing an example of the appearance of a healthy machine,
and **** (case) which builds in the drive mechanism which carries out the postscript of 1, and 2
are the footrest boards of two right and left installed so that it might project on this **** 1, they
turned the tiptoe side up, received vertically, and are somewhat projected with the angle. It can be
considered as sandals with the heel as shown in a figure, or a slippers type, or these footrest
boards 2 and 2 may enable it to bind the instep side tight by two belts with a surface fastener or a
buckle so that the adhesion immobilization of the sole of right-and-left both legs can be carried

out, respectively.

[0007] Drawing 2 - 3 are what shows the drive mechanism of the footrest board formed in **** 1,
3 is a rod which inserts the top plate 1a which constitutes **** 1, and, as for the footrest boards
2 and 2 on either side, the upper bed part of this rod 3 is fixed to the heel, The spherical portion 4
which a periphery bulges in the pars intermedia upper part of this rod 3, and makes the shape of a
ball is formed, and this spherical portion 4 is supported by the surface-of-a-sphere bearing 5
provided in the top plate 1a of **** 1, and comprises a lower part of the rod 3 which hangs in
**** 1 by making this spherical portion 4 into a fulcrum on all sides, enabling free rocking. Since it
has planned making both legs circle in the heel as a center in this invention, respectively, it is so
good that the distance of the spherical portion 4 and the heel of the footrest board 2, i.e., the
length above the spherical portion 4 of the rod 3, is short (for example, about 1~2 cm).
[0008]6 is the slide box ****(ed) in **** 1, insertion support of the bottom plate 6a is carried out
at the two guide levers 7 and 7 by which diameter immobilization was carried out in order at ****
1 inner bottom, and this slide box 6 is constituted by the cross direction movable. 8 is a knob
provided with the screwed shaft 9 for slide box order **, and this knob 8 rotates in the front face
of **** -| pars basilaris ossis occipitalis in homotopic, The screwed shaft 9 is thrust into the front
center section of the bottom plate 6a of the slide box 6 by the cross direction, by turning the knob
8 with a finger, it can show around at the above-mentioned guide lever 7, and only prescribed
distance can carry out now slide movement of the slide box 6 to order.
